In fact, it’s not even a decrease in expenditures, but rather not as much of a spending increase as Democrats desire (the federal government will still pork out more dollars in 2013 than in 2012).

To show his remarkably petty ire, President Obama released illegal immigrants from jail (instead of furloughing just 2 percent of the over 200,000 non-critical civilian defense employees) and stopped White House tours (instead of cutting three of seven full-time groundskeepers).

Next up? TSA cuts to inconvenience as many Americans’ travel plans as humanly possible (but not disrupting Air Force One, operating at $200,000 an hour, for his multitude of personal vacations).

Make no mistake: All of this is being done by a small-minded man to inflict the maximum discomfort on Americans who cry out for smaller government.

When I became disabled, I was able to cut over 25 percent from my monthly budget and lived to tell about it.

Yet the media’s Messiah and self-appointed “Smartest Man in America” can’t cut just 2 pennies from 100 to reduce his bloated budget that adds a staggering $1.3 trillion annually to our national debt? This proves yet again the liberal mantra, “Never ever let a manufactured crisis go to waste”.
